Van Hollen, mulling White House bid, says Democrats doing a bad job telling voters what they’re for

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), exploring a possible 2028 presidential run, said Democratic leaders have not done a good job explaining what the party is for, focusing too much on opposing President Trump. Van Hollen, who chaired the DSCC and DCCC, criticized the party's messaging strategy, arguing it fails to show how Democrats would improve Americans' lives.
